  13. Goals for the course • Familiarizing participants with the current realities of metropolitan areas in the global and U.S. context now containing a majority of the world's population and more than half of the global economy. • Define 'governance' and the governance challenges presented in the context of metropolitan regions in the 21st century in addressing a variety of challenges. • Identify and illuminate sets of metropolitan issues including housing, labor markets, transportation, environment and economic development. • Examine possible toolkits for addressing these challenges including land use and transportation planning, ICT, tax base sharing, soft and hard governance strategies and restructuring of government systems. Class 1 July 15 1:30-4:00 pm

  14. Outcomes for the class • Define and be able characterize the importance of metropolitan urban regions in global and local contexts; • Identify major dimensions of metropolitan urban regions including economic, environmental and social and the interplay among these dimensions; • Describe the relationship among policy agendas applied to metropolitan urban regions and the goals of economic, environmental and social development; • Describe major traditional tools of planning as applied in metropolitan areas in transportation, environmental, economic and social dimensions; • Describe major issues in metropolitan urban contexts and related strategies for these including growth management, sustainability in environmental, economic and social terms, and next generation economic development • Describe and offer examples of applications of emerging tools for managing major metropolitan issues including geographic information systems (GIS), strategic planning and performance measurement, evidence based management including the STAT, and predictive analytics systems as applied in metropolitan regions; • Describe emerging issues, future possibilities and next generations strategies including “smart cities and regions”, Web 2.0, and “big data”. Class 1 July 15 1:30-4:00 pm

  15. Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Course members may earn a maximum of 100 points in the class: • Course project Total of 30 points • Course project presentation Total of 20 points • Class participation Total of 25 points • Open book examination Total of 25 points Total maximum points is 100 Class 1 July 15 1:30-4:00 pm

  16. Two types of course projects • Tools for metropolitan regions. Select a tool or portfolio of tools, the applications that they have been put to, how they contribute to a better metropolitan region, and next steps in the evolution and use of the tool. Examples of tools include: advanced scenario planning, geographic information systems, data analytics including "smart cities" tools, data based decision making including the STAT program and predictive analytics. Other examples of tools will be discussed in class and further suggestions offered. • Issues in metropolitan regions. Describe issue, related elements, approaches to the issue, best practices, applications in the national context, and next steps. Examples include public transit and urban mobility systems, environmental protection and restoration, and place making. Both a problem analysis and a policy analysis are expected for the issues described. Problem analysis: A description of the problem that the policy or program is attempting to remediate including data on who is impacted, its size and scope. The paper should identify assumed causes of the problem that the policy is intended to solve. Policy analysis: Discuss the history of the issue. Explain which events triggered the demand fo resolution of the issue. How effective are existing policies and why is change needed? What alternatives were considered? Why is the recommended policy or program preferred over the other options? What are implementation challenges? What are the potential unintended consequences? How should the effects of the program or policy be monitored? Class 1 July 15 1:30-4:00 pm

  17. Four Steps in a course project 1. Select a topic or issue. After sharing in assigned discussion group and approval of the instructor, select a topic that includes a description of the tool, issue or geographic area. 2. Write an outline of the project. Outline of major sections of the paper with one or more sentences description in the major headings and references. 3. Submit draft paper for feedback from assigned discussion group and instructor. 4. Submit final paper and present the paper to the class and instructor. Guidance on presentation will be offered in the class to all course members. Class 1 July 15 1:30-4:00 pm

  35. Core Definitions for the Course • Metropolis • Metropolitan region • Metropolitan economy • Economic innovation • Sustainable development Class 1 July 15 1:30-4:00 pm

  36. Metropolis A very large or important city. The chief or capital city of a country, state, or region. The term is Greek and means the "mother city" of a colony. Class 1 July 15 1:30-4:00 pm

  37. Metropolitan Region A metropolitan area combines an urban agglomeration (the contiguous, built-up area) with zones not necessarily urban in character, but closely bound to the center by employment or other commerce. • These outlying zones are sometimes known as a commuter belt, and may extend well beyond the urban zone, to other political entities. • Term metropolitan regions adopted in the US in 1950. • A polycentric metropolitan area is one not connected by continuous development or conurbation, which requires urban contiguity. In defining a metropolitan area, it is sufficient that a city or cities form a nucleus that other areas have a high degree of integration with. Class 1 July 15 1:30-4:00 pm

  38. Metropolitan Regions • World is now majority metropolitan regional urban population • USA is major suburban since 1990 Class 1 July 15 1:30-4:00 pm

  39. Why study metropolitan regions? • Growth in metropolitan urban regions is accelerating in China and other parts of the world • Most of the world economy is generated in and passes through a limited number of metropolitan regions • Mobility for people and goods is focused in and through metropolitan regions • Much of the economic innovation is developed in and applied in a limited number of metropolitan regions • With a majority of global population, managing the environment – air, water, bio diversity – in metropolitan regions becomes very important Class 1 July 15 1:30-4:00 pm

  43. Economy • 600 urban centers generate about 60 percent of global GDP (McKinsey) • Animation globe: http://www.mckinsey.com/tools/Wrappers/Wrapper.aspx?sid={C84CB74F-A3B1-47B1-8265-6252F6D85B68}&pid={4F5BEDB1-6C1F-4243-A052-83ADBABE82DF} Class 1 July 15 1:30-4:00 pm

  44. Metropolitan Economy A metropolitan economy refers to the cohesive, naturally evolving concentration of industries, commerce, markets, firms, housing, human capital, infrastructure and other economic elements that are comprised in a particular metropolitan area. A metropolitan economy encompasses all interdependent jurisdictions of particular regional clusters. Metropolitan economies are competing globally in specialized sectors and fields tailored to their regional clusters of industries and firms. Class 1 July 15 1:30-4:00 pm

  45. Economic Innovation The introduction and dissemination of a new idea, product, or technological process throughout society and the economy. The innovation process should be contrasted with the act of invention, which is the creation of something new, but not the dissemination. Applies to all aspects of society and the economy--physical, tangible, cultural, and social. Innovation often leads to the widespread use of new products (such as computers and DVD players), but it also creates new cultural, social, and economic institutions (such as government agencies, forms of business organizations, and social trends). Innovations are consider to be a primary source of economic growth. Class 1 July 15 1:30-4:00 pm
